At Pentecost, the disciples were all gathered together in one place, on one accord, devoting themselves to prayer while they waited on the promise of the Father.

Fifty days after Jesus’ Resurrection, and ten days after His Ascension, the Spirit descended with the sound of rushing wind and holy fire and filled the house.  

And then in a demonstration of spontaneous order, everyone in the house was filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages!

Everyone in the house was filled. Everyone.

Imagine that. The entire assembly was filled and empowered by the Spirit to do something that none of them was equipped to do on their own.  Did you catch that?

Everyone was filled, everyone spoke, and everyone operated in order… wow!

Typically, when I read about the Pentecost, I typically get caught up on the power of the Holy Spirit, or the mystery of tongues.  As I read more closely, however, I am intrigued by the awesome miracle of spontaneous order, the overwhelming absence of confusion, and the amazing distribution of spiritual power demonstrated by everyone in the room.

This is what can happen when God’s people choose to be together, choose something bigger than themselves, pray together, and then wait on the LORD…

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.  

Acts 2:4
